Hey folks!
Thanks to the [research](https://forum.makecode.com/t/multiplayer-games-with-two-different-screens/44084) performed by _MakeCode Scientist_ @WoofWoof, I’ve created an extension that lets you take advantage of the ability to have more than one screen on multiplayer. I present: [riknoll/arcade-second-screen](https://github.com/riknoll/arcade-second-screen)!

> A MakeCode Arcade extension for drawing a second screen for players 2-4 in online multiplayer
From the README:
A MakeCode Arcade extension that allows you to have two screens in online multiplayer games: one for player 1 and one for players 2-4. This extension is perfect for 1v1 games and asymmetric 1v2 or 1v3 games!
With this extension, you can:
- Create sprites that only render on one screen or the other
- Create two cameras that follow different sprites
- Set different background images/colors for different screens
> Note: There is no way to have more than 2 screens or to allocate the screens differently (e.g. players 1+2 on one screen and players 3+4 on the other). There will always be one screen for player 1 and one for all of the other players. This is due to how MakeCode Arcade’s online multiplayer is implemented and there is no way to workaround it.
And here’s an obligatory demo game:
> **[rock-paper-scissors](https://arcade.makecode.com/S51049-44277-43860-55484)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.
And here’s another demo game that has a tilemap and separate cameras for the players:
> **[second-screen-camera](https://arcade.makecode.com/S95407-84737-40652-59638)**

Does this allow a second screen to have a custom resolution?

The multiplayer system does not allow custom screen resolutions.

Was I dozing off during the stream? I swear y’all didn’t finish this during the stream runtime.
Buy anyway… Quite the **BIGGEST** invention of MakeCode Arcade history.

Every screen update, the host sends a copy of the screen to all the other people. We just make it send a different screen instead and remove the loop that sends the normal screen.

This is super cool! I can imagine so many things that are possible that werent possible before. Only limitation is that its for two players only, not four, but still, this is extremly usefull. I have so many ideas on how this could be used.

Richard if you really don’t want to cast as any, you can do this:
```auto
function unregisterMultiplayerHandler() {
for (let handler of game.currentScene().eventContext['frameCallbacks']) {
if (handler.order == 210) {
game.currentScene().eventContext.unregisterFrameHandler(handler)
}
}
}
```

This, along with split screen, is peak.
I’ve also made use of this and made an online version of survive mr wegawobble.

Now all it needs is a little extra programming and we can get 4 player different screen games

that may be a while bc
1. The host does all the work
2. it’s only host and non-host, not p1 p2 p3 etc
